The issue is 'informed choice'.
If he hasn't taken the time to read something that could save/cost his life, then any medical decision he makes is not informed. A surgeon/hospital that accepts a consent form from someone like this is BEGGING to be sued.
And as I keep saying untill I'm blue in the face, these kinds of procedures---planned/elective surgery-aren't the ones that occur the massive (and ever more public)loss of life.
The tirck with these people is to get rid of the scriptures. The issue, just as this pperson rightly said, is not a matter of law. Push it around to discuss the expulsion/shunning issue. The BIBLE does NOT say it is an expulsion/shunning issue. Never mind the damned blood itself---you can SEE that's a lost cause.
The expulsion/shunning issue is the weak link. IT AIN'T RAGU--IT AIN'T IN THERE!!!! THAT'S the issue---and the real issue--to be discussed. THAT will get them thinking, but won't back them into a corner YOU can't get out of.
